Hi! I’m Lauren, one half of the hosts of this podcast! I used to be an avid reader as a child and then fell off the bandwagon when I started working as a nurse and then became a mom. It was hard to find time! I got back into reading a couple years ago when my anxiety was at an all time high and decided I needed a little escape and reprieve. I’ve found that it’s really helped me wind down from my busy work day and has helped manage my stress overall. Getting lost in a book for a bit is super therapeutic to me!
I read a wide variety of romance and roman-tasy (and of course all the SMUT). I love chatting with Sheryl on here in an unscripted way and sharing our thoughts with all of you.

FAVE WAY TO READ:
I prefer the actual book, but my Kindle is Depends what I’m doing! I reach for my ebook readers most often, but I love the feel of a hardcopy book, and I listen to audiobooks every single day while doing chores or out for walks. with me!

Hello! I’m Sheryl, the Canadian half of Lit Chicks Read! I’ve had many roles in my life: marine mammal rescuer, birth nurse, mama… But through it all, reading has been my hobby and sometimes lifeline, especially during my mental health journey of anxiety and depression. All genres have interested me at different times but throughout it all? Romance! I remember reading my first steamy romance as a teen (a classic “bodice ripper”), moving on to chick lit and romcoms, and now I read it all!
Getting to talk with my friend about books we love and having you enjoy listening to it is really a dream and I keep pinching myself!
